Description
The Thomas Jolliffe monument, located in the churchyard about 50 meters southeast of the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, is a memorial dedicated to Thomas Jolliffe, who passed away in 1918. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, this memorial features a headstone, a slab at ground level, and flanking Roman-Doric columns, all crafted from dressed stone in a classical style.
The central upright slab is topped with a pediment and includes a small panel with two carved figures in relief, positioned below a memorial inscription rendered in very fine lettering. The ground-level slab resembles a medieval coffin lid and is adorned with symbolic carving in relief. Each side of the monument is flanked by a tall and slender column that is slightly bellied.
